RollnDUBZ22- i have the same symptoms in my 1996 honda civic lx. i am stuck... the speedo and the flickering came on practically on my test drive after doing my timing belt and water pump... i assumed it was something i did, or possibly caused (bad ground, pulled wire from connector). Maybe a component coincidentally went bad when i was done working on the car. Where you able to fix your car? Please respond asap, thanks.
